The State * of Trade.
The condition of trade In all its various
n am lies m Omaha and thioughout the state
of Nebraska at the pie > cnt time is vciy llat-
eiing and cannot fail to be a souice of much
satisfaction to all inteiested. 1'aimpiodiietb
uc advancing in piico and especiallv is this
advance noted as legauls stoek. Ho s and
attlo hav e for the past tin ec or four weeks
isen i.ipiilly and the funnels ai o not slow to
take advantage of the situation. As , \ con
sequence money Is plenty in the countiy ,
Jills conti acted duitng the summer aio being
> aid and the countiy merchant Is at picscnt
ictlvely engaged in leplenishing his stock.
The wholesale diy goods and grocery houses
of the ( ity rcpoit an incteaso in the volume
of business that is highly giatifj ing. Collee-
lions never have been better
mil ic-quests lor extension of
time aio veiy lare. Puces arc
ranging somewhat higher , moio especially in
gioccues. The maiket is not fevettsh , how
ever , but is ineiely keeping pace with other
uimmoditlcs which have advanced In price
and is linn. Aieviewof the general mar
kets for the past v\eek denotes the following
condition :
Puces on plain in this maikct have ad
vanced steadily for scveial daysow ing to the
Inciease in values In Chicago and other
| ) oints. All kinds of grain v\ero affected.
While Hour has advanced thioughout the
county and more especially in Minnesota
there has been no effect on the Omaha nun-
ket with the exception of the bi anils tnanu-
factuiul In the state mentioned. Hay is
steady nt good pi ices , but will , unless the 10-
eeipts increase , advance In a very shoit time.
Heavy haidwaio remains stead > at prices
which have been quoted for the past two
weeks. Spnits have i dimmed linn for
a time and sales have bec-n vciy
heav.v. Ono house icports the \olumo of
business for the month of November as being
heavier than for any pteceding month sinio
the Him began business. Coal Is active at
prices which are above the standaul and
dcalcisaio making money. Lumber values
have increased slightly and tiado is biisk.
Div goods aio steady at quotations given.
Taken as a whole the piospects for the win
tci's tiade is unusually blight.

In pioduco circles business continues to
impiovc , and meichants aie cncouiagcd to
believe that activity will be maintained
thioughout the entile winter season. Thu
receiving and shipping business has not been
so brisk as might be expected on the upward
tin n in prices and the close of lake naviga
tion , but whal merchants have lost in these
depaitments 9f trade has been inoic than
offset by laigely Inn cased spceuhitiv e opcia-
lions. In many cases , when puces ndvancc ,
inteiior shippeis nio apt to hold back their
consicnmcuts in anticipation of reaching "top
Hgurcs , " and at the same timebuvcis in ( on-
suming markets are inclined to hold
off , hoping for n reduction , and con
sequently business is cm tailed m both
wavs. When bpcculutive fever prevails ,
however , and the outlook is favorable for
operatois to reallxe pioflts in their opinion
at least thej follow m a general movement
without much rcgmd to the suiroundings of
tiadc. The past 1ms been a decidedly "bull"
week and unfoitunato "beam , " have had
their nerves tested considerably. Prices
have advanced ou all leading cereals and
provisions , much bcjond general expecta
tions , ami the appreciation has been well
suppoited. The gcneiul suiroundmgs of
trade have be'cn favoi able to higher prices ,
and those operators who are ou the "long"
side of the maikct have cndcavoicd to make
the most of the situation , and worked cu-
cigi'tically for their p itrons and
themselves. The "shoits" as a lulo
have been conservative , and have not
sustained very heavy lobses , for reason that
the umler-toue to the miukets for seine time
past indicated that euro should bo exercised
on the "shoit" side. Many operators , how
ever , have not anticipated quite so sharp an
advance , and at times w hen the markets to
all outward appearances vv ere a little "top
heavy , " weie disposed to hell to some extent ,
only to cover their trades again at losses and
realise their misjudgmcnt of thu situation.
Corn nnd provisions were the leaders cully in
the week , followed by wheat and oats latci.
The foimer two worked somewhat in sjni-
pathy thioughout the week. The receipts of
grain ut interior points and the
in rivals of the live stock have not
been so laigo. Tanners uro little moio
indepcndenl in their views , as thci gcnciallv
huvo their pressing indebtedness provideJ
for , and aio not disposing of their piopcity
so f i eely. The cxpi essions regai ding higher
prices have placed them o the waiting side
of the maiket. Stocks ofTfiain aicgiadually
cnhuging , com and oats exccpted , while the
supplies of provisions arc steadily increasing ,
and are repoi ted to bo laiger than at this
time last i ear. Opetators for investment arc
put chasing some giuin at Interior points , and
packers are compelled to follow the advanc
ing prices of hogs. Merchants in linger
distributing maikets have not been inclined
to follow the iecenlappreciation In piices , as
they have contracted ahead for both giuin
and pi ovisions , and apparently have fcuftl-
cicul supplies on hand to meet tcmpoiuiy
avails. The advices fiom foielgn maikets
indicated little change in that iiuaiteibut
the homo markets have all exhibited more
strength. The expoit movement is oul' .
